Another reason to bin is the faster read time and smaller files. I do time series photometry and will usually use 2x2 binning unless my target is saturating with the binned image and a reasonable length exposure (10 secs).
The binned data has less time between exposures and are much faster to process.
Even binned I have 1.3 arcsec/ pixel so don't under sample.
